We're only staying for four nights, so I'm tempted to pack only the basics and just rewash them every night. I don't think I'll have room for much else, clothing-wise, after I pack diapers, bath towels, pool towels, and bottles! But I don't want to leave all his cute outfits at home!

Does anyone have any good strategies for packing a suitcase for a baby? Or is it destined to be a disaster?
